Darcy Anderson has had a good marriage for more than 20 years, but when her husband is away on a business trip, she stumbles upon his horrible secret while hunting for batteries in the garage. With the secret unfolding before her eyes, she has to make a bitter choice—destroy everything they have loved and built together, or keep the secret of a man she's not sure she even knows anymore. King is a masterful storyteller and this suspenseful novella builds quickly and keeps the tension high. Pulled from the author's collection of four novellas, Full Dark, No Stars, the story stands well on its own. Jessica Hecht's powerful narration communicates the intense and mixed feelings of the characters, adding to the depth and conflict of the story.
VERDICT Fans of suspense looking for a quick, high-impact listen will enjoy this tale, as will all fans of King's other works.
